324 Slaughtering Pigs
In the past, everyone would only prepare the New Year’s goods at the end of the twelfth lunar month. The weather has turned cold and every family has sufficient food already. The poultry they raised had also grown up. They could prepare the New Year’s goods early and enjoy all kinds of cured meat in advance.
The Wang family also raised more than ten chickens and ducks, as well as two fat pigs. Wang Chuanfu and his wife took care of them at home.
From time to time, the sound of pigs being slaughtered could be heard in the village.
Little Ah Yu was extremely happy. Wherever there was a sound, she would run over to watch the commotion.
In the end, she went to a few houses in a row but was stopped when she was still far away.
“Ah Yu, the process of slaughtering pigs is too bloody. You can’t watch.” When Third Aunt Hu’s family was slaughtering the pigs, they saw Little Ah Yu who was as excited as a firecracker outside, and they stopped her in advance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLittle Ah Yu said, “But I’m not afraid of blood. I’ve seen it before!”
Usually, when Old Madam Wang went to the butcher to buy pork and it was really bloody everywhere, Little Ah Yu would not even blink.
Moreover, back then, she had saved a bloody person on the street. Old Madam Wang’s fingers could not help but tremble, but Little Ah Yu acted as if nothing had happened.
It was as if she was not sensitive to blood.
Third Aunt Hu had forgotten the direction of the Wang family. As she dealt with Little Ah Yu, she called out to Bian Dan. “Bian Dan, bring your Little Sister Ah Yu out to play for a while. There are two banana trees growing on the mountain behind. Take a sickle and bring a bunch back.”
She then said to Little Ah Yu, “Ah Yu, be good. Go play with your Big Sister Bian Dan. You can have lunch at our house today. I’ll get someone to tell your Grandma.”
Actually, Old Madam Wang had already informed the villagers not to let Little Ah Yu watch the pigs being slaughtered because she was afraid of scaring her obedient granddaughter.
The villagers were naturally happy to cooperate.
If Donkey Zhang found out that her precious granddaughter had come to watch the pigs being slaughtered, she would probably snatch half of their pigs away.
Today, they were busy at home and did not have the time to quarrel with Donkey Zhang.
After Bian Dan took Ah Yu away, Third Aunt Hu turned back to the courtyard. The pigs had almost all been killed. Hu San was holding a hot kettle and pouring water on the pigs.
When he saw Third Aunt Hu, he asked casually, “Are you still keeping this year’s pig heart for her?”
“What’s there to keep? Their family doesn’t lack it!” In the past, when Third Aunt Hu slaughtered the pigs, she would leave the pig heart to Old Madam Wang, knowing that she liked to eat braised pig heart.
Hu San: “Then let’s save it and send it to Second Uncle. Second Uncle’s family’s harvest this year isn’t too good-”
“You’re only thinking about your Second Uncle all day long! What did he leave for you all year round?” Third Aunt Hu rolled her eyes. “It’s just a pig’s heart. How many villages do you want to bring it to? Don’t you find it embarrassing? Forget it, I’ll give it to Donkey Zhang so that she won’t be so sarcastic all day long. If I don’t give it to her this year, she might overthink again. She might even cry secretly at night.”
Hu San: “...” Are you the one overthinking it?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCoincidentally, Old Madam Wang was outside, holding a slaughtered chicken in her hand. When she reached the door, she heard Third Aunt Hu’s words and immediately turned around to leave.
However, Third Aunt Hu’s son saw her and hurriedly called out to her, “Auntie Wang, you’re here? Come in and sit!”
Old Madam Wang snorted. “Which eye of yours saw me coming? I was just passing by. Who has the time to sit at your house? It’s bloody everywhere!”
Third Aunt Hu’s son: “?”
Bloody?
After Old Madam Wang finished speaking, she threw the chicken in her hand at him from afar.
“Auntie Wang, we can’t accept this!” Even without the feathers and internal organs, this chicken weighed five to six catties.
It was worth a lot of money.
When Third Aunt Hu walked out, Old Madam Wang had already left with only her back view remaining.
“This chicken is ill. Take it if you want it. If you don’t, throw it away. Don’t bring it back and make my eyes swell.”
Third Aunt Hu snatched the chicken from her son’s hand. “Only a fool would throw it away.”
After entering the courtyard, she said to Hu San, “In a while, cut some ribs and send them over with the pig heart, lest they say that I, Third Aunt Hu, likes to take advantage of others.”
